Where Am I -- Volume II

[glc]

California, Sierra Nevadas, Little Truckee River?

[Utahtea]

If you can figure out the real name of this lake, you'll still have to translate it, but once you've done all that, you'll have this puzzler pretty well solved:



Name the Mountains

Name the Little River that begins here

Rick

AH...got it!

Sierra Blanca Lake
White Mountains


Not positive about the river....Three forks River?


While I've never been we have friends that post pictures every year of their travels in this area.
I knew it looked familar!

If Utahtea has the mountains right, you are in Arizona and that is the Little Colorado River.

You are in the Cerro Gordo Ghost town, on the edge of Death Valley. The "church" doubles as a movie theater. The hotel is the American Hotel, which burned to the ground just last Monday, along with two other buildings!

Rick, First I didn't mean to post a where am I at the same time you did. I was writing mine up and didn't realize you had posted!

Rick was correct on all! It's devastating when you think of what was lost of not only the American Hotel, the Crapo House and the Ice House buildings but all the contents too!

Here is the inside the smaller Crapo House


Just a few pictures of inside the American Hotel







So glad we visited when we did!

Yes to Sierra Blanca Lake, yes to the White Mountains of Arizona, and yes to the Little Colorado River! Nice teamwork!

This is my next road trip ride!

Do you know where it parked?

And a clue: Mermaids can be found nearby!

[Rick Quinn]

I figured this one would be a snap. I just did a Google search on "fish car," assuming that odd looking vehicle would pop right up. I mean, how many could there be?











Quite a few, apparently!

Guess I better refine my search, and I'll keep looking!

Mermaids in this town have been strutting their fins for more than 25 years.

[Rick Quinn]

"Perfect!" I said to myself. "I'll just do a search on "mermaid car!" Mark's Mystery Mermaid Mobile will surely pop up in the top five, because there can't possibly be all that many mermaid cars!







Hmmm. Looks like I may need an additional qualifier. I'll have to ponder this more deeply...

Nope, these are actual mermaids and mermans. And they perform year-round -- even (and this is the big reveal) when the outside temps are below freezing....
